What I need to do is communicate direct with a comm port in my FreeBSD box. I have a unit hanging off it and I need to be able to issue it various commands. I know I can use minicom while im in console mode, which works like a charm, however the problem I have it, I need to be able to do it via a php script from a website. Can anyone point me in the right direction as ive really come up against a brick wall on this one.
